“This has deeply affected me, I have an 11-year-old daughter, and I want her mom and her family to know that we care and we’re here to support them,” says Nikki Cedrone, Chair of Neighbourhood Watch Brampton. “We need to rally around this mom, and little Riya’s family to help her through this horrible time.”
